Priority Configuration

This section explains how to configure the priorities in the OOM Monitor configuration file.

The OOM Monitor configuration file (oomconfig.xml) is located in epo32\data\z\10207218.

Note: The configuration file cannot be modified after flashing it to the device.

The OOM Monitor configuration file can contain the following details:

initial priority of an internal application. For information on OOM Monitor priority, refer to OOM Monitor Priority.
rules to change the priority. For more information, refer to Rules to Change Priority Dynamically.
default priority. If the priority of an application is not defined it will have the default priority.
OOM Plug-ins priority. For information on OOM Monitor plug-ins priority, refer to OOM Plug-ins.

For applications that need to be active all the time the priority can be set to NEVER_CLOSE.

Example

The following is an example of the OOM Monitor configuration file:

<oom_config>

<!-- Low RAM and good RAM thresholds are defined in kilobytes.The value 1 means that applications are not closed in parallel. default_wait_after_plugin defines how long to wait (in milliseconds)after OOM plug-in is called.
<global_settings low_ram_threshold="3637" good_ram_threshold="4900" max_app_close_batch="3" default_wait_after_plugin="10" max_app_exit_time="2000" />


<!--	Application specific low RAM and good RAM thresholds are defined here -->
<app_specific_thresholds>
<!-- Uid of Browser application>
<app uid="10008d39" low_ram_threshold="8637" good_ram_threshold="9900" />
...
</app_specific_thresholds>


<app_close_settings>

<!--The uid DEFAULT_APP refers to all applications, which priority is not specifically defined in the conf file.-->
<close_app uid="DEFAULT_APP" priority="80" sync_mode="check">
<app_close_idle_priority idle_time="900" priority="50" />
<app_close_idle_priority idle_time="43200" priority="20" />
</close_app>

<close_app uid="BUSY_APP" priority="NEVER_CLOSE" sync_mode="check" /> 

<close_app uid="10008d39" priority="80" sync_mode="check">
<app_close_settings>


<!--The priority of executing each application plug-in is defined here-->
<app_plugin_settings>
<app_plugin uid="10281f93" target_app_id="10008d39" priority="30" wait="100" sync_mode="check">
<plugin_foreground_app_priority target_app_id="10008d39" priority="100" /> 
</app_plugin>
</app_plugin_settings>


</oom_config>
